Clock is slow at 1:00

In order to correct the system time, I used the command:

[c]# echo "Europe/Moscow" > /etc/TZ[/c]

But the system time lags by one hour. Perhaps because Russia has not switched to winter time.

How do I fix this? Maybe you need to update a package?

Looks like we dont have updated tzdata in slitaz.

@black dog

There are 9 time zones in Russia.

Slitaz offers a minimal amount of tzdata to save space.

With my hardware clock set to UTC and /etc/TZ set to Europe/Moscow my software clock matches:

http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/xtra/tzdate?tz=Europe/Moscow

Europe/Moscow is GMT-3 plus 1 hour equals GMT-4

Try this:

#echo GMT-4 > /etc/TZ

From what I read Russia as of June 2011 no longer has DST.

The advantage of tzdata auto adjusting time doesn't matter.

Time offsets:

West of UTC = GMT+

East of UTC = GMT-

For users whose tzdata is not included in glibc-base.tazpkg :

This list determines what tzdata is harvested from glibc and packed into glibc-base.tazpkg:

http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/4b603f180e5d/glibc-base/stuff/wanted-files.list

If your timezones tzdata is included in glibc add it to the list and cook glibc-base.

I'm sorry. But I did not understand the packages. smile

Moscow Time UTC+4/MSK.

I used the command [c]#echo GMT-4 > /etc/TZ[/c]. Now its time to show properly. Thank you.

Again!

All the summer there was no problem with the display time. With the default settings.

Now watch in Slitaz again behind at 1:00. Russia is NOT TRANSFERRED to the winter time!
